Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. The Christian life is supposed to work like this: something wells up inside us and then overflows. @JeremyG220 I don’t know why God answers some prayers immediately and not others. What I do know with full assurance is this: God's given us the freedom to ask him for anything. Perhaps in God’s economy it's most important we have the freedom + faith to ask, + we can rest in His provision. @rebekahlyons The quickest way to shut down your church’s missional response to the gospel is to leverage guilt in motivating them to reach their lost friends... Remember that the gospel will empower on its own. @jaredcwilson One way to kill your prayer life is to overthink it. @jaredcwilson

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. I’m thankful that God always behaves from His identity, even though I don’t always behave from mine. @JeremyG220 Unfortunately in the church today, we get our doctrine from the Scriptures but our methodology from the world around us. We trust the supernatural for one but not the other. @WhiteHorseInn Legalism is a soul enslaver, joy taker, friendship killer, and church divider. @gospeldriven The gospel saves and brings God's rule into our lives (his kingdom) in order to bring the good news of his power into the world. The gospel changes us from the inside out and spreads through our lives and lips to the world by his Spirit. @JeffVanderstelt        

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. I want to see more broken people come to Jesus.  Let's not get upset about things that don't matter.  Stop fussing. Let's work together. @don_missionUSA @usmbchurches At a church where the goal is to be better and better, the comparison game is strong. When the goal is for Jesus to be clearer and clearer, real change can happen. @JeremyG220 The Gospel isn’t an after thought or a tidy way to tie up a sermon. It’s life. It’s balm. It’s healing. It’s everything. @Thejesslou Despite what most people assume, the greatest commandment is not the standard of Christianity. Jesus Christ is. The gospel is “my commandment.” I am righteous before God because of what someone else has done.  @Byronyawn Repentance is not a work that we perform, but ...

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter. God is a God who weeps over things gone wrong in his world. He is a tender God who takes no pleasure in sorrow, suffering, or death. He is a God who comes alongside and assures us that he is here and that we are never alone. @scottsauls What is repentance? Repentance is returning to God as the center. If repentance is coming to God as the center, praise is lifting up God as the center. (Jack Miller in Saving Grace) Union with Christ is irreducibly mysterious. Since it's enchanted, we can't contain it, control it, or explain it, And this is fantastically hard for a solution-focused, technique-oriented, productivity-minded people like ourselves to accept. @WilbourneWisdom True spiritual fruit comes from getting swept up in intimate, loving encounte...

Here are some of my favorite tweets from the last few weeks.  This is one of the blessings of social media where we can hear the gospel from people all over the world. If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  Because the Gospel is endlessly rich, it is the only thing that can handle the burden of being the "MAIN thing" of a church. @timkellernyc You can’t fix the culture with law, you can’t fix the church with law. Change happens by the gospel through the Holy Spirit. @theocast_org The Christ inside of you is greater than the circumstances surrounding you. Fall deep into His arms and enjoy the love that won't let go! @JeremyG220 A well-gospeled discipleship culture in a church means no shame for recovering prodigals *or* recovering older brothers. @jaredcwilson When you preach, do not be stingy with the Gospel. C.F.W. Walther via @birdchadlouis The Christian message is not "Behave" but "Behold!" It is not "Get to wo...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  In the Gospel we don't get instructions about how to create a better version of ourselves. We get a new identity, a gift.-David Zahl Behavior follows belief. Who do you think you are? Satan says you're dirty and used. God says your clean and holy with a limitless future. @JeremyG220 We are justified, sanctified, & glorified by grace. The entire Christian life is lived under the reign of God’s grace. (Jerry Bridges) Grace was not an addition to God’s plan; grace was a part of God’s plan from the very beginning. Law was temporary, but grace is eternal. (Warren Wiersbe) Only God could rescue Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from fire. God rescues us, too, from sin through His Son, Jesus. #thegospelprojectkids

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  From the way you talk about your faith, do people get the impression that Jesus is great, or that you are? @jaredcwilson  The only real comfort from and silencer of shame is what the King of Creation says about me. @ScottyWardSmith Jesus died for your sins...including your cold & distant heart towards Him. We need grace to bring us home, not law. Unconditional grace! @jonmoffitt What draws people to Christ aren't your multitudinous rules & straitlaced life but the 1 way love of Jesus who loves to save/welcome sinners @DrSteveWBrown None of our efforts at obedience or morality can make us more saved, holy, or fit for Heaven, or complete than we already are in Christ.-OW @thejesslou Sanctification is God's work. He changes us as ...

If you like the tweet, go and follow the person on Twitter.  What draws people to Christ aren't your multitudinous rules & straitlaced life but one-way love of Jesus who saves sinners. @DrSteveWBrown The horror of the same old thing is one of the most valuable passions we have produced in the human heart. --Screwtape @birdchadlouis Church size is not as important as gospel size. Mega- or mini-church, do you preach a mega-gospel? @jaredcwilson Real "life-changing sermons" don't send you away with a "to-do list" but with a greater understanding of what Jesus has already done. @JeremyG220 The most radical often looks very ordinary, like dads praying with their kids and moms singing "Jesus loves me," kneeling by their beds. @BuckParsons  

This is a now a regular feature on the blog.  Usually on Mondays, I get caught up on my favorite podcasts and this usually results in a lot of tweeting on that day.  However, if you are at work and not checking Twitter during that time, you might miss some of the great truth being shared by others.  So, I am sharing some of best tweets from the previous week which include great wisdom and truth. Richard F Lovelace: "Spiritual life flows out of union with Christ, not merely imitation of Christ." @rayortlund The One who never was plagued by “me, me, me” gave Himself selflessly so that we might be united with Him in spite of ourselves. @rjgrune Saul was an imperfect king Israel wanted from God, but Jesus is the perfect king God wanted to give His people. #thegospelprojectkids The only one who can assign value to you is the One who made you. He says you're priceless! @RelevantChris Broken people need less Should / Just impossibility and more Because /...

May we never think that pondering the Almighty's love is only for beginners. @ElyseFitz Keep giving each other the gospel. Articulate it, explain it, pull it apart--don't let it just become a word. @jonmoffitt In Christ, it's already been done. So now, doing can just be a response to already being. @mockingbirdnyc in the immediate aftermath of a broken experience, we need his presence not a prescription. @mattbheard I'm moving from a prayer life to a praying life. Praying is affected by how much I need Christ for all of life. @cbc_theocast God's plan is not to st...

The gospel is the announcement of God's purposes, promises, and achievements—not ours. @MichaelHorton_ My feelings WILL NEVER change the absolute truth of the Gospel. In Christ I am new, I am loved and Righteous, cleaned, accepted forever. @benlpatrick The more we stand in awe of God, the less we'll stand in judgment of each other. @bobgoff Discipleship is a process of paying more attention to God's righteousness and less attention to ours. @PrestonSprinkle via @mathdrmitchell God always answers the prayer of faith.God answers in 1 of 4 ways: yes, no, not yet, or i...

That's what faith is--a looking away from yourself to Someone else...Faith, then, is trusting in the love & mercy of God. @ElyseFitz There is nowhere you can go to get away from being known & loved & defended & sought by the Spirit of God. @mockingbirdnyc #goodnews  "It is finished" is the indicative lens through which every imperative of scripture must be viewed! @JeremyG220 Without my deserving it at all, out of sheer grace, God grants & credits to me the perfect satisfaction, righteousness & holiness of Christ @MyOnlyComfort Hall...

Reset your faith, hope and confidence in Christ today! @pastorjimtvc The grace that saved us is the same grace that sustains us. If it was good for eternal life, it's good for daily life! @JeremyG220 Being gospel-centered means that the gospel not only saves you but permeates all areas of your life. #gospelcentered @clayadkisson Reformed piety is not interested in checking off boxes. Reformed piety is dying to self & living to Christ. @RScottClark The Bible is not primarily abo...

There is no freedom in keeping the rules or in breaking the rules. Freedom is found in being with the Father. @RelevantChris Our goal isn’t “be like David, Abraham, Jacob.” That we are like David, Abraham, & Jacob IS our problem & we need a Substitute for it badly. @JustinHWillms  "...the (Lord's) Supper is not law but gospel. It is not a funeral but a feast." @RScottClark via @BenjiMagness God's grace is less about what we can or can't do...it's way more about what Christ has done and is doing! # RealGrace  @JeremyG220 The Holy Spirit has not only...

Grace frees us from operating out of "have to" at a flesh level and allows us to operate out of "want to" at a heart level. @JeremyG220  A low view of the Law leads you to think if you try harder you can keep it. A high view of the Law leads you to trust Jesus 4 daily living. @ZachMaldo While we finger point & blame shift, Jesus says the only direction a finger rightly points is toward the self. @mockingbirdnyc Christian, you do not have to "prove yourself" to Jesus. Justified by faith and sealed by his Spirit, there is nothing left to prove. @jaredcwil...
